IMPROVEMENT IN RECEPTACLES FOR WASTE-WATER OF WELL-TUBES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,063, dated September 18, 1866.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, DANIEL P. GHEs- BROUGH, of Lansingburg, Rensselaer county, State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in YVells; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specilication.

The present invention relates to a new and useful attachment to a well-tube, below its waste-water pipe, of a reservoir or receptacle for the waste-water escaping or iiowin g from such pipe, whereby such water can be reconveyed or conducted back into the well-tube, the advantages and importance of which are obvious.

In the accompanying plate of drawings my improvement is illustrated, the ligure being a central vertical section through the waste-water receptacle or reservoir, showin g its connection with a well/tube.

A in the drawings represents a receptacle or reservoir, which may be made of wood or any other suitable material, and of a square, cylindrical, or other shape. This reservoir A, by a pipe, B, attached to its bottom plate, C, is connected with the well-tube D at a point below its wastewater pipe E, and in such position that all the water escaping from said pipe E will pass or discharge into the receptaole A, from whence, passing through the connecting-pipe B, before referred to, it will ilow back into the well-tube.

Over the orifice F of the pipe B of the water-receptacle A, and opening upward, is a opened, in which posit-ion it remains until sulcient water has passed through such valve into the well-tube to relieve the tension upon the float-chain, when the valve falls to its seat and closes, in which position it remains until again opened by the action of the water upon the oat, as before explained.

From the above description it is plainly apparent that with my improvement applied to a pump all the waterheretofore wasted through its waste-pipe is economized, in lien of, as heretofore, being lost in the surrounding.;` ground of the well, the advantages of which are obvious.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The receptacle A, having float I andvalve G, in. connection with the waste-water pipe ot' a well-tube, when a-rranged with regard thereto and connected with the well-tube substantially as and for the purpose described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 15th day of May, 1866.
